Taiwan reported a record 153 Chinese military aircraft detected around the island within 25 hours, ending at 6:00 a.m. on October 15, 2024. This follows large-scale military drills conducted by China, which involved fighter jets, drones, warships, and coast guard boats encircling Taiwan on October 14. In response, Taiwan dispatched its own forces and heightened alert levels on its outlying islands. The situation highlights ongoing tensions in the region as Taiwan monitors Chinese military activity closely. The Defence Ministry's statement marks the highest number of aircraft spotted in a single day.
